Frauds

Fraud is commonly understood as dishonesty calculated for advantage. A person who is dishonest may be called a fraud. In the U.S. legal system, fraud is a specific offence with certain features. In criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them – usually, to obtain property or services unjustly.
Firstly, I would like to write about Charity fraud. It is the act of using deception to get money from people who are making donations to charities. Also, there are credit card frauds. This is a kind of fraud where a merchant (business, service provider, seller ) is "tricked" into releasing merchandise or rendering services, believing that a credit card account will provide payment for goods or services. The merchant later learns that they will not be paid, or the payment they received will be reclaimed by the card's issuing bank. Another one kind of frauds is bank frauds. That is a federal crime in many countries, defined as planning to obtain property or money from any federally insured financial institution. It is sometimes considered a white-collar crime.
By taking some precautions and following some sensible advice you can help protect yourself from fraud. Have a look at the fraud prevention advices which are provided: fraud mini-site - part of the Crime Reduction website, provides information on fraud for police, crime reduction practitioners, businesses and consumers. What is more, e-tailing mini-site- also part of the Crime Reduction website, provides information to help both consumers and businesses protect themselves when buying and selling over the internet. Finally, keep your Cards Safe leaflet - read the leaflet we have produced in conjunction with the credit card industry.

Summing it up, there are many frauds among us and we should protect ourselves.
